Coal formations you say, layered by by water from a Flood perhaps? Its nice that you mentioned coal formation(or should I say rapid coal formation which is exactly what the evidencepoints to) which is more evidence to a global flood in which massive amounts of sediment and water and layers of vegitation from enormous volcanic activity that would have occured in a global flood, thanks for the reminder.
Labratory research in the past few decades has shown may be formed quickly. In May of 1972 George R. Hill, Dean of the College of Mines and Minerals Industries wrote an article published in the Journal of Chemical Technology, now known as Chemtech. He commented , A rather startling and serendiputous discovery resulted... these observations suggest that in there formation, high rank coals,...were probably subjected to high temperature at some stage in their history. A possible mechanism for formation of these high rank coals could have been a short time, rapid heating event. Hill made coal industinguishable from natural coal in SIX HOURS.
Many more!!!!!

Natural coal may also be formed quickly,--- Argonne National Labratories
Yet Many more!!!!!
For these things covetesnous, adultery, Fornication the wrath of God is coming on those the sons of disobedience.
Forgiveness can be for anyone In Christ! Amen! Sorry about name calling MHalblaub, peace friend!
Not the first place I would look for scientific evidence.
All these sources Ive posted concerning coal formation have NO Christian affiliation, but like I said it wouldnt matter if they did, because evidence is evidence and can be tested and disputed by anyone, in which it isnt disputed, except by adhock story tellers/ embarrased evolutionists.
